The use of solid fuels for cooking is a primary risk factor for deaths and morbidity from indoor air pollution. You can explore these numbers for any country or region using the “Change country” function in the bottom-left of the interactive chart. Accelerated progress will be needed to ensure this number now continues to fall. This is particularly true for Sub-Saharan Africa - despite the share of the population with electricity rising steadily, population growth meant that the total number of people without access was on the rise until 2016. This figure is still unacceptably high - and gains in access are moving much too slow to reach our goal of universal access by 2030. Broken down to average daily change this means that on any average day in the last 11 years there were 314,770 people who got access to electricity for the first time in their lives. 1.26 billion got access to electricity for the first time in their lives between 2005 to 2016. This is shown in the chart: in 1990 more than 1.5 billion didn’t have electricity by 2015 this had fallen to 952 million. By 2016 it had fallen again to 940 million. In 2015, the total number without electricity fell below one billion for the first time in decades very likely the first time in our history of electricity production. This progress also holds true when we look at the total number of people without electricity access. In 1990 just over 71% of the world population had access by 2016 this had risen to over 87%. Global access to electricity has been steadily rising in recent decades. For some countries, significant improvements in access will remain a pressing challenge over the next few decades. At the lowest end of the spectrum, only 8.8 percent of Chad’s population has electricity access. Whilst the trend is upward for most countries, a number are still severely lagging. For countries with strong population growth, such improvements in the share of the population with access is even more impressive. Indonesia is close to total electrification (sitting at almost 98 percent) – up from 62 percent in 1990. In many countries, this trend has been striking: access in India, for example, increased from 43 percent to almost 85 percent. Therefore, the increasing global share has primarily been driven by increased access in low and middle-income economies. High-income countries – or countries defined by the UN to be ‘developed’ are assumed to have an electrification rate of 100% from the first year the country entered that category. This means 13% of the world did not have access to electricity in 2016. In 1990, around 71% of the world’s population had access this has increased to 87% in 2016. 2Īt a global level, the percentage of people with access to electricity has been steadily increasing over the last few decades. ![]() For rural households, this minimum threshold is 250 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year and for an urban household it is 500 kWh per year. It also requires households to meet a specified minimum level of electricity, which is set based on whether the household is rural or urban, and which increases with time. The International Energy Agency (IEA) definition entails more than just the delivery to the household. However, most definitions are aligned to the delivery of electricity, safe cooking facilities and a required minimum level of consumption. There is no universally-adopted definition of what ‘access to electricity’ means. Measuring the share of people with electricity access is therefore an important social and economic indicator.
